Thought process behind new masteries?

Why are there non-Dominion masteries in this rework (such as Demolitionist, Siege Commander, and Scout) yet you were sure to include Dominion-specific nerfed versions of new masteries (such as Mercenary & Sage)? I am just baffled as to why you'd promote this new game mode so hard and then push it to the side (when speaking of masteries; I know you have been working hard on it in other areas) in favor of SR. Are there plans to do anything with the aforementioned masteries? If so, could you provide us with some info on what you have in mind?

The masteries change is cool and all, but holy s... am i confused! offensive and defensive are both appealing, but at the same time, not speccing deep utility will change the way I play most of my champion :0
